The Space program, the Space Station, purposed Space missions,have benefits, with out any doubt, that's not what I was talking about,cliff-67, and Thank you for sharing the uh, "con" not sure what you meant by that.

We were talking about gravitational waves, from 1.4 billion light years away, relativity, Einstein, James Webb, LISA, technology.

Finding a new home for Humans is a great idea, I am all for that, here iswhat NASA says about it's own mission James Webb.

So the importance is what?Sure it's cool,Sure it's fun, and entertaining,So it will help us with what?

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

MOKSHA,

Pros and cons, as in, good with the bad. Sometimes the bad has to come first before we realize how good the good really is.

It is eyes and ears. It is as important as when the first telescope was invented. Revolutionary, if you will. These instruments will change the way we view the heavens, and in some way(s) could very well help to save humanity down the road.

Sure, there is a cost, but also a huge reward. Mankind is a very curious species,,,,,always looking for answers. It requires searching (and researching ) to find them.....

Those instruments will answer more than just questions about the big bang......

I wish I shared the enthusiasm you and Swamp have, about stuff down the road, sorry but I have reasons not to.I hope you both are 100% correct about future missions, but, when themonetary system is involved, I have my doubts, if the system was in the hands of the people,like it is stated in the constitution, then I would share your enthusiasm, maybe by that time the system will be "better".

Here are two that are not talked about as much as I think they should.

You're right. Moksha! Maxwell and Tesla don't get enough public press. As Cliff said, they are highly esteemed in scientific circles. My son is a physicist and a professor of Physics at a major university. Tesla is his hero.
